How to fill out a TAOE Christmas card:

Genuinely thank the veteran for their service and sacrifice to our country. (Please write AT LEAST two sentences)

Sign your name.

Write what city and state you are from.

Anything extra you would like to add is great.
The veterans love to hear that someone is thinking about them during the holiday season.

Cards WITHOUT a genuine thank you will NOT be accepted.

Our veterans deserve many thanks for what they have given us.
Freedom is not free, and we hope to make sure that EVERY veteran hears the words "Thank You" at least once in their lifetime.
We appreciate your understanding for why we require you to write more than just "THANK YOU" or sign your name.
